Local : Anaheim Man, 2 Teens Wounded in Gang-Related Drive-By Shooting

An Anaheim man and two teen-age boys were being treated this morning for wounds they suffered when they were hit by several shotgun blasts fired from a passing car in a gang-related drive-by shooting late Tuesday night, Anaheim police said.

Anthony Acosta, 21, of Anaheim and two 15-year-old boys, whose names were withheld because of their age, were standing at Citron Street and Victor Avenue in north Anaheim about 11:25 p.m. when shots were fired from a car, Anaheim Police Lt. John Cross said.

Two of the victims were shot in the legs and the other was wounded in the arm, Cross said. The wounds were not considered life-threatening. The three remain in stable condition at area hospitals, he said.

Witnesses reported that the shots were fired from a red sports car that sped north on Citron Street, Cross said, and minutes later crashed into a tree at Romneya Drive east of Euclid Street. Police recovered the shotgun believed to have been used in the attack, but four people ran from the accident scene, Cross said.

Police had some leads this morning, but no suspects have been arrested, he said.
